JUSTIN HARDEE

The New York Jets' special teams ace needed to share his good news with Estella Perryman. Coinciding with the ninth anniversary of burying her, Hardee found out during a team meeting last week he was selected to his first Pro Bowl. And coincidentally, the Pro Bowl Games will be played in Paradise, Nevada, on Feb. 5 — Perryman’s birthday. After the Jets played last Thursday night, Hardee traveled home for the holiday weekend and spent a few quiet moments at his mother's grave. “His leadership is infectious and his play is infectious.”Hardee, a special teams captain, has a career-high 12 special teams tackles, ranking him among the NFL's leaders.

Justin Hardee gently brushed the snow from his mother’s gravestone enough so he could see the image of her face etched into the marble.

Zach Wilson worked out on the field Monday and it remains possible the New York Jets quarterback could return from a knee injury in time to start the season opener.

The Cleveland Browns got their coach back on the sideline.
